Silves, the former capital of Algarve, is situated in Southern Portugal. Castelo dos Mouros (The Moorish Castle) is a reminiscence from the times when Moors invaded Iberia. I still remember how difficult it was to find a parking spot nearby. I’ve seen this castle during my road trip to Sagres Portugal and to Cape Saint Vincent.
